Jux is a creative blogging platform. It was announced that Jux would shut down on August 31, 2013, but this was later changed apparently due to financial support from one of their members.
Shutdown notice
Short version:
With humble apologies, Jux will shut down on August 31, 2013.
Until then, Jux is closed to new members.
Thank you for everything.
You may download your work or read more details.
Long version:
Your work has brought meaning to us, to millions of others, and
hopefully to you. By providing a creative layer on top of words and
images, Jux has helped you build narratives, hold attention, and
connect people.
Unfortunately, Jux has not grown fast or large enough to attract
further investment. The service will close on August 31, 2013. Until
then, you may retrieve your work.
We apologize for the mammoth inconvenience and trust your stories
will continue.
Status update
On July 17, 2013, Jux's official blog announced that Jux would not be shutting down:
"We are thrilled to say Jux will remain open and active.
A passionate member of our community has stepped in to keep Jux not only alive but growing.
We will have more to announce about the future off Jux soon."
(Their Twitter account also confirmed this.)
Backing up
According to Jux, going to "https://USERNAME.jux.com/!/mystuff" (when logged in) will allow you to backup your data. You can also backup some data using JSON as described here.
A complete list of blogs hasn't been made yet, searching "site:jux.com" on Google might help.
- All the images seem to be stored on Amazon CloudFront, so they might still be up after the site's shutdown.
TODO: A script for easily backing up all the blogs would help with archiving Jux before it shuts down.
